Getting a Authentication PopUp during application Launch

My script is getting failed during execution of my ruby script in water web-driver during firefox launch. The reason is that a authentication popup is getting show during the launch and the default URL will launched due to the policy set by the company & it can't be modified. So the script fails saying that not able to obtain a stable connection. Is there is any way to handle this in code as nothing can be changed from the policy side of my company.

Solution

  • See if AutoAuth works manually, and if so you can add it to your custom Firefox profile: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35918342/4072371

    Code for Watir:

    profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.add_extension "../path/to/autoauth.xpi"
b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile
